Claude Tripadvisor connectorWhat Claude finds in Tripadvisor hotel data.
The Claude Tripadvisor connector exposes 3 tools: 3 read, 0 write, 0 undocumented. All three look up hotels: a map search for an area, a detail view with reviews and prices, and a side-by-side comparison. No Tripadvisor account to sign in to is described.

What changes when Claude can look things up on Tripadvisor
With this connector, you describe the stay you are looking for and Claude queries Tripadvisor's hotel data while it answers: hotels in an area, one hotel's details, photos and guest reviews, pricing and availability when they are returned, and nearby points of interest. The research stays in one conversation.
A shortlist on a map. You give a place name and search_hotels returns matching hotels, shown in an interactive map inside the chat.
One hotel, read closely. When a name keeps coming up, hotel_details brings back its amenities, photos, guest reviews and live pricing for your dates.
Two or more, side by side. compare_hotels lines up hotels you name, or a set Claude selects automatically within an area, and puts subratings such as cleanliness, location or value next to each other.
What it will not do: none of the three tools books a room, pays, or saves anything to a Tripadvisor profile. Sources describe hotels only, so flights, restaurants or activities are outside what this connector covers. And nothing runs on its own: Claude calls these tools only while it is answering you. If you also want a scheduled hotel price check that runs without you, that is a job for an automation platform; the Integrations hub lists the ones we document.
Five words before you plug it in
Claude's vocabulary around this connector, in one minute.
- Connector
- The link you set up once between Claude and an outside service, so Claude can use that service while it answers you.
- Tool
- One named thing a connector lets Claude do. Claude picks the ones it needs; the directory sheet lists them by name.
- Authorization
- A service's own sign-in screen, where you grant the access Claude will use. Granted once per person, and you can take it back.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for before doing something that changes an account, shown in the chat at the moment it matters.
- MCP
- The shared standard connectors are built on: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service such as Tripadvisor.
Connect Tripadvisor to Claude in three steps
- 01
Find Tripadvisor in your settings
Open Claude's settings, go to Customize, then Connectors, and look for Tripadvisor. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner has to switch it on for the organization before members can connect it themselves.
- 02
Start the connection
Click Connect on its row and follow the window that opens. If the link breaks later, Disconnect it and connect it again: that is the documented way to repair a broken connection.
- 03
Read any authorization screen
If a sign-in or consent screen appears, read it before you accept. It belongs to the service, not to Claude, and it sets how far the access goes. No source describes a Tripadvisor account step for this connector.
The 3 tools, sorted by what they do
Tripadvisor gives Claude 3 tools: 3 that read your account, 0 that change something in it.
One group only: three tools that read hotel data. Tripadvisor's own tool descriptions cover each one, and the names stay exactly as Claude shows them.

What Claude reads (3)
3 toolsThree tools that search, open and compare hotels without booking anything.
compare_hotels
Puts several hotels next to each other on their subratings, such as location, cleanliness, service and value. It works two ways: hotels you name explicitly, or hotels selected automatically within a geographic area you give.

What Claude asks before acting
By default, Claude stops and asks before any action it takes on an account for you. On this connector, every documented tool reads hotel data, so there is nothing to confirm in the usual flow.
On Team and Enterprise workspaces, owners decide whether members may let some actions through without being asked each time. They can also limit what a connector may do for the whole organization, for example keep reading and close writing, and nobody overrides that from their own account. Claude works with the rights of the person who connected it, never more. The official per-tool label (read-only versus write) only shows in a signed-in account's settings.
Which plans include it
None of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows availability by plan. Connector by connector, that answer is not published anywhere.
What is published is the general rule: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner turns a connector on for the organization before members can connect. For the current state of this one, check its sheet in the official directory, the only place that shows it.
Where the Claude Tripadvisor connector stops
A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you: nothing fires when a price drops or a new review lands.
A tool list that shows only reading is an observed floor, not a guarantee: an admin can open actions that no public sheet shows. The directory's verification badge is not a security audit, and Anthropic states on every sheet that it does not decide which tools a publisher exposes. Only Tripadvisor documents this connector, through its own tool descriptions; no Claude help article or Anthropic developer page covers it.
